"Two Fingers" was the fifth single from Jake Bugg's self-titled 2012 debut, landing as a UK download in September that year, a few days after Zane Lowe crowned it his Hottest Record in the World on Radio 1. Bugg wrote it with Iain Archer and handles guitar and vocals, with Tom Robertson on bass and Jack Atherton on drums, while Mike Crossey produced, recorded and mixed the lot.
It's folk rock with scuffed knuckles, plain-spoken and quick on its feet, and it got the British songwriter to number 28 on the UK Singles Chart. Jamie Thraves directed the video.
